Standing Tall

01 Assisi Hospice, Singapore New Space Architects

Hospices don't have to be depressing places, going by the brief given by the new Assisi Hospice to make the space "less hospital-like".

It now looks like a pared-down resort. The bright and airy wards have balconies, so patients get a view of the outdoors even from their beds. Patients are encouraged to personalise their rooms, to give it a more homey feel.
